"Mr. Lang, don't you want to ride Wu Zui when you go out this time?"
Taohua was in the stable in the backyard, watching Tang Wen wash the horse and scooping a ladle of water from time to time.
As long as Tang Wen is at home, the three women will find every opportunity to hang around him.
Tang Wen groomed the horse and said calmly: "Wuzui is too eye-catching. Regardless of your strength when you are away from home, the most important thing is - you can't be a fat sheep."
Under the sun, Tang Wen's side face looked like jade.
Taohua's eyes were blurred: "Mr. Lang knows so much."
Wu Zhui has a wild temperament and is a medium-level monster, so it is not suitable to keep at home.
He was kept in the stables of the palace.
Wu Zhui also eats a lot, so it is perfect to keep him in the palace.
Putting down the brush and handing the bucket to Taohua, Tang Wen thought about his mission this time.
Go to Wujia City, sell medicine, attend trade fairs, and find people from the five major families to buy water trucks.
It's a wooden waterwheel that looks like a Ferris wheel and can irrigate farmland.
The camp only recently learned about the waterwheel in Wujia City.
As for the drawings, Tang Wen and the others were bound to get them.
There is a lake around the campground, so we should be able to use it.
General Zhou is already thinking of ways to deal with the giant python in the lake.
Yes, the lake to the west is included as a restricted area.
Mainly because of the strange beast python inside, and its descendants - a group of anacondas.
On the way to Yalao's courtyard, Tang Wen recalled General Zhou's solemn account:
"The ability of the green anaconda is very strange. It is an illusion and a mental control. Their skin color blends with the lake water. When someone passes by the lake, maybe he just glances under the lake surface. He will be attracted by the vertical pupils of the green anaconda. , and then jumped into the lake uncontrollably and disappeared completely."
"Green anaconda?"
In the yard, Tang Wen asked Ya Lao what level of strange beast the green anaconda was.
Yao Lao recalled: "It's difficult to deal with, but it would be good if you can catch a young python. As for the level? It's about the same as a silver wolf."
"Baby python?"
"Haha, you don't think I can only raise blood crows, do you?"
Tang Wen smiled, whether you know it or not, I know it anyway.
After taming the Wuzui horse, his proficiency in beast control has increased a lot.
The communication between him and Blood Crow became smoother.
Proficiency continues to grow.
Taming a python?
It's not like raising Medusa, it sounds a bit scary.
Yalao was still talking: "Take it to Wujia City and sell it? Why not go further? What's the use of exchanging food and water trucks? I understand, you have to take care of the ordinary people in the outer city... You guys have such a good reputation, this It will be difficult in the disaster year!"
Tang Wen didn't speak, he lowered his head and counted the number of vials on the stone table.
Having seen Ya Lao's pharmaceutical skills, the two generals Zhou and Zhao personally went out to kill the high-level alien beasts recorded in the camp and whose territories were nearby.
Use their blood marrow to create a batch of potions.
Except for keeping a small amount for personal use, the rest were taken to Wujia City for trading.
Seven days later, Wujia City will hold a fair, or a warrior trade fair.
Neighboring forces took this opportunity to prepare for exchanges.
It's time to set off.
At the gate of the camp, Tang Tang comes to deliver.
Tang Wen waved to her, mounted his war horse, and led a camel war horse, blending into the caravan outside the door.
"Why is Commander Tang Wen dressed like this?"
Qian Sanduo looked curiously at Tang Wen, who was dressed in black. Black clothes were nothing, but the key point was that even the eyes were covered with black cloth, which was a bit strange.
Tang Wen said perfunctorily: "The wind and sand are strong."
After saying that, he picked up the bamboo hat, put it on his head, and tied the hanging hemp rope around his chin.
Commander Qian did not ask further questions and checked the caravan's situation.
The team set off.
Time was running out and they had to travel day and night.
In the caravan, in addition to Tang Wen and Qian Sanduo, there was also Commander Li.
He is also the commander of the caravan. He has been in the camp for more than 20 years. He has married wives and concubines and has a large number of children.
Seeing Tang Wen, he pointed to the carriage in the team and said: "It will take six days on the road. Each of us will watch for one day and take turns to rest."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Wen waved, and the blood crow flapped its wings and landed on his armored arm.
Commander Li was surprised and said: "Commander Tang Wen still has this ability?"
Qian Sanduo was equally surprised: "No wonder the general asked you to come by name."
"I just learned it and my abilities are limited."
The two of them only regarded him as modest.
There are a dozen cars and nearly a hundred horses in the convoy.
There were more than thirty warriors in front and behind, watching eagerly.
The carts were pulled with furs and armor.
The furs come from breeding and hunting, and the armor comes from craftsmen in the inner city.
Tang Wen knew that there was a poor iron mine in the forest to the north and east of the camp.
The output is not large, so it is no problem for personal use.
After accumulating for a while, you can also sell some weapons and armor.
On the first day, the caravan had not yet left the camp.
The two commanders took care of Tang Wen and took the initiative to let him stay on duty at night.
For the next two nights, he stayed in the carriage to rest.
The first three days flew by.
Tang Wen, who stopped practicing martial arts, spent time training crows and horses in addition to being vigilant.
Constantly refreshing the proficiency of beast control.
"Report! There is a body on the roadside."
Early on the fourth day, the caravan had traveled hundreds of miles.
The sky is blue, clear and cloudless.
The earth was a gray-brown color, as if it had lost all life.
Tang Wenda stepped forward and saw several shriveled and mutilated corpses, revealing their pale skeletons and exuding a stench.
Commander Li also followed up and said as if to introduce his experience: "Generally for outsiders, we don't care about these corpses. But this place is too close to the camp and we have to burn it."
He ordered people to get torches, but the guards reluctantly went.
Seeing that there was no grass around the body, Tang Wen stopped him and said, "I'm here."
After saying that, he took out a few round pieces of coal from his small pocket and hit the corpse with a locust stone technique.
Commander Li and the caravan were all stunned.
The next moment, there was a short sonic boom, charcoal ignited, hit the body, and the ground jumped, and the fire spread everywhere.
Like sparks dropped into hot oil.
"With this skill alone, ordinary martial artists are no match for you."
"This movement can scare away strange beasts."
The two of them were curious about how Tang Wen could practice it.
Along the way, corpses appeared from time to time.
Tang Wen showed his skills to the two of them again and again.
The two commanders tried many times and reluctantly admitted that they were not the material.
"Commander Tang Wen is such a young genius. He has no idea about hidden weapons, but he can actually shoot such powerful flying rocks!"
Qian Sanduo praised.
The first four days were uneventful.
Occasionally a wild beast or strange beast appears.
It became a snack that night and entered everyone's stomach.
At noon on the fifth day, a rocky field appeared in front of us.
Commander Qian shouted: "Rest for a quarter of an hour, everyone cheer up, Rock Hill is here. Put up the flag of our camp!"
A strong man lifted up a three-foot-long bamboo pole.
The flag is like fire, flying in the air.
Without waiting for Tang Wen to ask, Commander Li said: "The Rock Hill is also called the Corpse Hill. Many people died here."
The few miles ahead are rugged and full of boulders.
At first glance, the view is blocked in all directions and there is no straight path.
A convoy of dozens of people had to make repeated turns and circles no matter where they went. Only then can we move forward in twists and turns.
Tang Wen took a casual look and confirmed that this terrain was very suitable for an ambush.
Maybe there are terrifying beasts and insidious thieves hidden behind a certain boulder.
Pedestrians died at their mouths and hands.
"Gah!"
The blood crow flew from Tang Wen's shoulder into the sky.
Commander Qian said: "I will go to the front later, you will support in the middle, and Commander Li will guard the rear to prevent a sneak attack."
Tang Wen was noncommittal: "We often take this road?"
"Of course, whether it's a short-distance caravan or a long-distance caravan, it can't be avoided."
"Have you ever thought about clearing out a straight line?"
"It's difficult! Not to mention the bandits like the Black Mountain Ghost, who will destroy it. The distance alone is four or five miles long."
It takes too much effort to open the way.
Tang Wen didn't say anything more, walked forward, found a boulder, and whipped it casually.
Crash, boulders fell to pieces.
I smoked three to five yuan in a row, and it was always like this.
With this kind of strength, an ordinary warrior can shatter it with one punch.
He went back to the car and took a bamboo umbrella. Then, the visualization exploded and his body jumped straight into the air.
At the highest point, open the umbrella.
The bamboo umbrella couldn't support his weight and folded.
Tang Wen took advantage of his strength and stayed in the air for a moment, which was enough to see where the stones were least.
"Commander Tang Wen, what is this?" Qian Sanduo and Commander Li looked at each other, not understanding what he was doing.
Tang Wen said calmly: "I want to see if I can clear a road quickly."
